Is there anything more fun than Black folks around the holidays? The food, the fashion, the memes, the magic: Itβs non-stop joy.Β
This year weβre extra-blessed as the sure-to-be-classic βA Holiday Chanceβ arrives in theaters. The film tells the story of the uber-successful Chance family, movie moguls who havenβt had a hit in a minute. When the companyβs founder and family patriarch passes away suddenly, the in-fighting begins. Whatβs supposed to be a holiday season filled with gifts and good cheer quickly turns south, with allegations of infidelity and disloyalty flying like mashed potatoes in a food fight.Β
This movie is chock full of screen legends: Sharon Leal, Richard Lawson, Dorien Wilson, Vanessa Bell Calloway and more light up the screen with bold and bodacious performances that always remain grounded in humanity. Newcomer Chasity Saunders (Terri) is a revelation, witty and whip smart.Β
βLiterally everyday going to work felt like it was a dream. I really got to play on camera with some of my favorite actresses,β said Saunders.Β
Check out βA Holiday Chance,β and be sure to bring the in-laws and ya bad ass cousins. Thereβs a damn-good chance youβll love it.Β
